Safety
General Safety Precautions
• Do not operate machine unless you have read the operations and maintenance manual carefully. Read any
additional instructions included from other manufacturers and organizations such as Honda and the Masonry
and Concrete Saw Manufacturers Institute. Learn the applications and limitations as well as the specic
potential hazards related to this tool.
• Do not operate this machine unless you have received operational and maintenance training from a US SAWS
representative or from an authorized distributor for US SAWS.
• Observe all applicable local, state, and federal safety regulations. Wear OSHA approved foot protection.
• Observe all applicable local, state, and federal safety regulations. Wear OSHA approved safety glasses.
• Breathable silica may be generated by use of this product. Silica can cause severe and permanent lung damage,
cancer, and other serious diseases. Do not breathe the dust. Do not rely on your sign or smell to determine if
the dust is in the air. Silica may be in the air without a visible dust cloud. If air monitoring equipment for silica is
not provided by your employer at your work site, you MUST wear appropriate respiratory protection when using or
servicing the machine. Consult your employer and OSHA regarding the appropriate respiratory system.
• Observe all applicable local, state, and federal safety regulations. Wear OSHA approved hearing protection.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair. Keep hair away from motor air vent. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when
working outdoors.
• Do not expose machine to rain. Do not use machine in wet conditions. Keep work area well lit. When working at
an elevated location, pay attention to articles and persons below.
• During normal operation as instructed, keep a rm hold on the handle grips and maintain control of the machine
until the blade completely stops.
• Never operate a blade in the wrong rotation. Check the rotation direction and blade direction when mounting a
blade.
• Check the maximum operating speed of the machine and blade. Never use a blade rated less than the
machine’s maximum speed rating.
• Never use a cracked, damaged, or misaligned blade. After mounting blade, rotate by hand to check for proper
alignment.
• Do not operate machine while under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
• Do not operate machine with parts missing or improperly mounted.
• Verify all guards are in good condition and will function properly before using the machine. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
machine operation. A guard, power switch, or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Do not operate machine if
dead man lever or engine on/off switch does not function properly.
• Extra care must be taken when using saws on an elevated location to prevent injury to someone on a lower level
in the event the tool or accessory should drop. Do not operate without fall protection for the operator and debris
protection for the public.
• Never touch moving parts such as blades, belts, and others.
• Stop using the machine immediately if any abnormalities are observed during operation. Examples of
abnormalities include unusual noise or vibration.
• When replacing a component part with a new one, use only the same type and quality of new part. Never attempt
to repair a machine if you are unfamiliar with proper procedures and techniques required.
• Do not modify machine from its original design without written permission from the manufacturer. Non-
authorized modications could lead to serious injury or death and void warranty.
• Refer to this operations and maintenance manual as well as any additional instructions included from other
manufacturers and organizations such as Honda and Concrete Saw Manufacturers Institute. Never permit
anyone to operate the machine without proper instruction.
Dust Buggy

Your Dust Buggy requires the installation of the handle and
pointer before it is ready for use.
Recommended tools:
• Ratchet and Sockets
• Wrench
• Allen Keys
• Pliers
Install pointer as shown
Cycle the height
adjustment mechanism to
ensure that
everything is working
correctly.
Assembly
We recommend that the pointer be
adjusted so that it is next to the crack
to be cut, not in it.
This makes it easier to see if one is
cutting straight while keeping the
pointer from being affected by debris in
the crack.
Install handle as shown
The Dust Buggy handle comes
pre-assembled and simply
needs to be bolted to the rolling
chassis.
Begin with bolting the main
handle to the chassis. Make
sure to place the supplied
bent handle washer
opposite to the chassis as
shown.
Follow by removing the
bolt from the clamp
weldment and then thread
it through the handle
adjustment lever.
Insert the free loop of the
handle spring through the
hole in the chassis. We
recommend using a pair of
pliers to aid this process.
Dust Buggy

The door on the side of the Dust Buggy locks
the “shoe” into position and provides access to
the blade nut.
Use the spindle lock on the grinder and
supplied wrench to tighten the blade nut.
Raise the spindle, slide the “shoe” back on,
and lower door.
The Dust Buggy is
supplied with two (2) large blade anges.
Make sure to sandwich blade
between them.
Lay Dust Buggy on to its side. Lift door and
slide “shoe” off towards pointer. Using height
adjustment lever, lower spindle as far as
possible.
